A Word to GpOakera.

II you wish to build up the town don't
stand idly by and talk about what ought to
be done, but put your hand to the wheel ana
make 1t what you wish it to be. SO long as
you suggest and do nothing so long will the
town hold on to Its lethargy. To think IS very
good, but what good Is thought without ac-
ton? 1t is frutless to stand still and blame
somebody else Go to work yourself to bring
about the desired result.

and composer were warm friends, and
it was while both were under strong
emotional conditions from temporal
depression that the lovely hymn and
its sweet measures were produced, the
whole operation taking not more than
half an hour. After being published
bv a Chicago firm, however, the song
laid in stock and scarcely a copy was
sold for year or two. Its success was
then developed by a remarkable incl

How to Make Yourself Unhappy.

In the first place, if you want to
make yourself miserable, be selfish.
Think all the time Of yourself and your
things. Don't care about any thing
else. Have no feelings for any one but
yourself. Never think of enjoying the
satisfaction of seeing others happy, but
rather, if you see a smiling face. be
Jealous lest another should enjoy what
you have not. EAvy every one who is
better off in any respect than yourself;
think unkindly toward them and speak
lightly of them Be constantly afraid
lest some one should eneFoach upon
your rights; be waite hful against it,and
if any one comes near your things snap
at him like n mad dog. Contend cap
nestly for every thing that is your OWN
though it MAJ not be we<th a pin, Ter
your rights arc just as nsUch concerned
as if it were pound of gold Never
yield point Be very sensitive, and
take every thing that Is said to You in

Be jealo&s of your friends lest they
should not think enongh Of yous and il
al any time they shoxld seem 20 neglect

POLITICAL FALSEHOODS.

How the Lie, Called History, Is Made Up
from Some Newspapers of the Period
The Tilden Letter. the Vest Case and
the Presidents Message.
There is ordinarily little use in pay
ing any attention to political announce
ments unless the evidence is conclu-
.sively given. The art of correct state
ment in print about leaders and parties
has disappeared from almost every
newspaper. If a politician says thing
himself in a letter or speech that is
one thing. If in any journal, which
he can not be suspected of making his
medium, an announcement is made
concerning him, the announcement
may be accepted as certainly incorrect.
No list of current inaccuries can be
made complete. A few signal ones,
however, can be referred to.

Marked Growth in 1885 in the Productions
II q

= - 49,
Of the Precious Metals.
Statistics compiled by the Well-Fargo
Express Company show that in the
great mining region west of the Missis-
sippi the production of precious metals
enjoyed a period of marked growth in
1886. The yield of silver, not counting
the receipts from Mexico, was $52, 1885,
81, or S4,OO3, S12 more than in 1882.
the best preceding year. The gain
over 1885 was $500. 252, or about II
per cent. These figures, it shou, be
borne in mind, are in values measured
by the gold STANDARD. and the increase
in the weight of bullion was proper
-ionately much greater, the price of
silver having been unprecedentedly
low last year. As compared with the
average annual production of the last
fifteen years, 1886 shows a gain OF
about SIC, 900. 600, or 45 per cent. speak
ing roughly.
Last year showed handsome gain
also in the production of gold over the
three just preceding, but in the long
run the yield of this metal in the United
States is gradually decreasing. 1t
gradually rose in the region west of the
Mississippi from s33, $50, 900 in 1870 to
$44, $50. 900 in 1877. and then fell
steadily to s25, 1873, 567 in 1884. In 1885
it rose to $685. 56, and last year
there was further advance to $780,
SCI, 424, the increase over the previous
year having been SO, ICY, e6S, or about
y per cent, In gold, as well as IN
silver, the prospects of the present
year are encouraging, and, even with
out the possible discovery of new min
ing districts. there may be another
handsome gain. 1t is certain that the
resources of the United States in this
metal have not yet been very
thoroughly tested or approached cx-
haustion, and altogether the mining
interests of the Far West are evidently
holding their own with the other great
productive interests of the country
